New techniques for isolation of single prokaryotic cells.
Since the 1960s, several new attempts have been made to improve the management of single prokaryotic cells using micromanipulator techniques. In order to facilitate the isolation of pure cultures we have recently developed an improved micromanipulation method for routine work. With the aid of this method single prokaryotic cells can be picked out of a mixed community under direct visual control...
متن کاملNew laboratory techniques for isolation of Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
The SP-4 culture medium, developed originally for newly isolated plant and insect mycoplasmas (spiroplasmas), has markedly improved the recovery of Mycoplasma pneumoniae from human clinical materials. This medium, in combination with a direct fluorescent antibody test, can enhance the recovery and identification of the organism by 30-40 percent over conventional culture procedures. Although the...
متن کاملUse of magnetic techniques for the isolation of cells.
Magnetic separation is an emerging technology using magnetism, sometimes in combination with conventional separation or identification methods, to purify cells, cell organelles and biologically active compounds (nucleic acids, proteins, xenobiotics) directly from crude samples. Several magnetic separation procedures have been developed to isolate target cells specifically. The purpose of this s...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a prokaryotic sulfurtransferase.
A sulfurtransferase has been purified to apparent homogeneity from the prokaryote Acinetobacter calcoaceticus lwoffi by conventional protein fractionation techniques. Steady-state kinetic studies of the enzyme revealed that its formal mechanism varies with the acceptor substrate employed. With inorganic thiosulfate as the sulfane sulfur-donor substrate and cyanide anion as the acceptor, the enz...
متن کاملRaman activated cell ejection for isolation of single cells.
We have optimized a Raman microscope to obtain a single cell Raman spectrum (SCRS) with 0.1 s acquisition time. SCRS with such short acquisition time has sufficient discriminatory ability and spectral reproducibility to differentiate cells incorporated with (13)C and (15)N and to classify five different types of bacteria isolated from the oral cavity. We also developed Raman activated cell ejec...
